WindcastIQ

While wind is one of the fastest growing forms of electric power generation, it is also one of the most difficult to predict, making it a key factor in driving congestion and price volatility in many regional power markets. We partner with The Weather Company, an IBM Business, to provide the most comprehensive ISO-level wind power forecasts available.

We combine The Weather Company's cutting-edge weather models and accurate predictions of key meteorological parameters with our state-of-the-art wind power model to give you transparency into wind-driven congestion and its impact on prices. 

Meteorological expertise

We factor in key variables that directly affect wind turbine electricity generation, including wind speed, ambient temperature, relative humidity and air pressure.

Unique, direct monitoring

We use real-time wind generation data to calibrate our models, for optimal forecast performance.

Market fundamentals analysis

In addition to our meteorological forecasting, we review congestion, maintenance, cut-outs, and negative day-ahead pricing, which may prevent wind power from reaching the grid.
